Entertainer Archive

1. Big surprise here - Entertainer Mission difficulties and payouts. Now, I understand that entertainers are supposed to be pretty low on the socio-economic ladder of Galaxies, and that those who do make it rich will probably do so based on their interaction with other player characters. I personally only take missions when I can't find anyone to RP with, but when I do take them, it's a better deal for me (having been trained to Pistol III by friends)to make 1700 credits in a half-hour with my DX44 on two destroy missions, than 450 credits in three entertainer missions.

2. Healing Mind Damage - As I understand it, there is currently no way to heal mind damage (with the exception of the damage packs given to newbie medics) other than to rest. Medics can heal health and action damage and wounds, but entertainers can only heal mind wounds. Even if it takes a special ability or a targeted command to do it, entertainers should be able to heal mind damage.

1: Afkbot macrotainers delete there charachters hehe

2: reorganise the layout of cantinas

Hmm top two? That's tough...

1/ Falling down when you dance

2/Master Entertainer could use some unique abilities that do not takefrom Music, Dance, or Image Design.

Suggestions:Something Image Designy that would be directly related to entertaining: Stage makeup (dramatic eyeshadow patterns and blush) that would help you stand out in the dark cantina environment. Could also be thought of as clubbing makeup foraudience members.Have it time out when you leave the cantina/hotel/theater (for roleplay purposes).Allow Master Entertainers to get dancers and musicians in sync (with band flourish) while allowing everyone to get experience. Motion capture juggling, miming, fire-breathing, magic tricks, etc. Add a flourish to each song and dance that is usable onlywhen a Master Entertainer has the group of entertainers in sync.

Those are some really great ideas Kwee!

I think the two issues at the top of my list are afkers and entertainer missions.

Atta girl! I agree.

So, my top two:

1. Getting methe names/addresses of all AFK macroers in any profession


2. Supplying me with a sledgehammer to fix their systems with
   

End afk entertainer healing,,,

No other single issue is more important.

1. AFK entertainer healing. I like Jaela's terminology here. AFK macroing for xp doesn't bother me in the least. If someone wants to skill up in their home, that's just fine - it doesn't affect me or my friends. Some people like the struggle to the top while others don't have the time and want to be able to keep up with their friends. The problem as I see it is all the afkers in the cantinas. This is especially so for the ones wearing their undies and being trailed by a droid named "PleaseTip".
   

   In the past, someone had suggested a /silence command. I'd prefer a variant on this - the "autobounce". The cantinas do have bouncers to remove the deadbeats right? If someone is afk in a cantina (whether tag is on or not) for more than...say...30 minutes, they get 86'd. Instant transport toa few feet outside the backdoor. If that person has a macro running, it stays running...that way everyone walking by can see that they got bounced from the cantina and why (I used to work in nightclubs and do like making examples of people ). Any pets/droids they have should be auto-stored when this happens.



2. More songs and dances. Variety is good. I'm afraid if this doesn't happen, at least for music (I don't dance so can't address dances really), people are going to leave the profession not because they don't enjoy performing but because they just can't stand to hear those songs anymore. I still enjoy them and have even surprised people with starwars1 cause they never heard a full range band (nalargon, mandovial, ommni, both horn types) play it. In time though, even that will get old. I think we still have quite a bit of time till new songs are *needed*, but I'd rather see them start working on them now than wait too long.

Ok, enough rambling from me.

I could not agree more.

1: hairstyles, cant see the styles in the icons, makes for HORRIBLE long sessions going threw every single hairstyle for someone.

2. missions are pointless with the payout they give.

1. *gets down on hands and knees* please please please stop the AFK macroing!!! Its literally ruining the cantinas and cheapening the entire entertainment profession.

2. entertainer missions need to at least pay out more

Lack of any way to make REAL money...

(any other professions wares have a monetary value and ours do not)

For example if I wanted to be a ME and MD and a smattering of Musician I STILL have no way to make any amount of cash... The missions sometimes pay less than it costs to get there forcing a never ending cycle of poverty to eventual boredom and quitting of the profession entirely for a combat class orcreation class (includes docs that make medpacks)

Additional ways to make xp other than flourishes alone...

(this is because no matter what flourish button you hit you will eventually get the same flourish)

For example I have a little fat old man named Eldoo Hispi on the Shadowfire server (Bespine cantina most days) When I am dancing or musicing I go through each flourish button and I found out after a short time that no matter what one I choose I get the same flourishes over repeat hits of the same key.

Thanks for listening

|just my two cents|

Intrepid and Shadowfire

Apprentice Points! Uggg very rare these days.
